Leather
Leather is central to Cierre. The company selects raw hides on international markets and hands them to partner tanneries, which carry out the tanning, finishing, printing and colouring for Cierre. Its warehouse holds more than 300 colours across more than 15 types of leather, and the company combines leather with fabric across its collections.
Leathers named in the current collection include Soffio, Setanil and Natural Velour, used for details such as piping and leather-covered frames. The Cierre Cleaning Service offers dedicated help from a Cierre tutor if a leather piece is stained.
Comfort and production
Cierre cuts its polyurethane padding and makes its feather cushions within the company, using padding of different thicknesses and densities to shape each seat. Seating mechanisms are a speciality: on many models the depth and height of backrests and armrests can be adjusted.
- Nuvola: a modular sofa by Stefano Conficconi with soft reclining backrests and contrast leather piping, with or without side arms.
- Divine: a modular sofa by Maurizio Manzoni with a leather-covered base, black chrome details and backrests that move to two seat depths.
- Nest bed: by Bernhardt & Vella, with an upholstered headboard framed by curved leather-covered metal sides.
- Dock: an armchair by Luca Erba on a 360° swivel base with return memory.
Contract and projects
Through cierre_projectservice, Cierre works with architects, interior designers and planners on residential and hotel contracts, from craftsmanship to 3D rendering. Its in-house design studio creates single products or entire lines made to measure for contract projects.
